Who Am I?

Let me introduce myself: I'm Krysta, and by day I'm a music teacher, but by night, I'm a DJ at a local club where I can really let my hair down and show the real me!

I've always had a passion for music, and for as long as I can remember I've had eclectic tastes. I grew up with my parents playing everything from Bob Dylan to Barbra Streisand, and such diverse styles as folk music and show tunes, so it's no surprise that I love all kinds of music today.

Back in the day, I used to obsessively listen to the radio and record my favourite tunes on my handheld tape recorder (yes, I'm showing my age!). I spent hours trawling through the local music stores and collecting CDs across all kinds of genres - my collection got so big that it spread through three rooms of the house! Luckily, all that came to an end with the arrival of the internet. Music streaming apps became my new passion!

Love Music? Streaming Is the Way Forward!

Once I discovered the joy of streaming music, there was no looking back. Of course, I haven't thrown away all my old CDs - they're still safely tucked away in boxes in my attic - but for the last few years I've dedicated my spare time to finding the best music apps and streaming services online. With so many different options to choose from, it's easy to make the wrong choice, and that's why I've taken it upon myself to do all the hard work, so you don't have to. I've tried and tested all the best music streaming apps and services out there, so you can be confident that when you follow my advice, you'll be getting an amazing musical experience each and every time.

What Is Spotify?

Spotify is popular digital music, video streaming and podcast service which offers listeners access to literally millions of songs as well as a range of other content from worldwide artists. You can play music completely for free, however, for those who want more features, there is the Spotify Premium option which is available for a low monthly fee.

What Does Spotify Offer?

Spotify lets listeners browse or search for their favourite music. They can also receive recommendations from personalised features like "daily mix", "release radar" and "discover weekly". Listeners can build up their own collection of music while seeing what their friends and celebrities are listening to. Listeners can even create a radio station of their own. Since Spotify can be accessed from many devices such as PCs, tablets, smartphones, cars, TVs and speakers, it's possible to transition easily between devices using Spotify Connect.

Streaming Services

A decade ago, you could choose from several ways that you could get your hands on the latest music, and all were pretty popular. If you prefer your music in hard copies, you could buy a CD or register for one of the CD delivery services on the market. Alternatively, you could turn to the very popular iTunes to download single tracks. Even better, if you wanted to download lots of music, you could use a service such as Napster. All were widespread and were a matter of personal choice.

Nowadays, however, most people listen to music via streaming services. While there are still some people, who are downloading music illegally, in most cases the music services which are popular today and above board and within the law. Read more here.

Does Music Influence Gambling Behaviour?

Music is known to have an effect on some elements of human behaviour. It makes sense that it can impact on your gambling behaviour too. In fact, it has been shown that there is actually such as thing as gambling music. Casino owners have become aware that when they choose music with the correct speed, listeners are prepared to take more risks. They, therefore, choose the music on their gaming floors very carefully to achieve the best possible effect and to encourage players to play more and for longer.

Is There Any Evidence?

The link between gambling behaviour and the music was proved in 2007 when three experts wrote an article on the subject. The article covered the research that they had carried out into analysing musical pace as a factor in gambling propensity.

Their study showed that different musical tempos have a different effect on gambling behaviours. Faster music can make people place bets more rapidly without considering them thoroughly. This effect is widespread and affects every player on the table since nobody wants to be lagging behind. Fast music makes players feel more positive and more driven whereas slow music or even no music makes gamblers feel uneasy and this leads to slower bets and a more cautious attitude. Fast music, in short, makes the game feel exciting, and its power is just as effective even if the music plays at a low volume.
